Question

I'm very confused. I've created a global variable:

public LabelField title2 = new LabelField("", 
    LabelField.ELLIPSIS | DrawStyle.HCENTER| LabelField.USE_ALL_WIDTH |
    Field.FIELD_VCENTER | LabelField.USE_ALL_HEIGHT);

...

title2.setText("blablablablablabla\nblablabalba");

But when i'm trying to show this text on device's display i see only one line instead of two.

enter image description here

but if i'm using

add(new LabelField("Line1\nLine2"));

it works properly. Does anyone have a solution?

Was it helpful?

Solution

Can you try skipping LabelField.ELLIPSIS to see if that makes any difference?

OTHER TIPS

\n NEWLINE characters are not supported in LabelFields on OS 4.5.

They are supported in OS 5.0.

I do not have 4.6 & 4.7 environments setup on my machine to test with.

I just wanted to update this page for future search purposes, since I had the same problem as original poster and his answer was not working for me.
